Helps you Measure and Estimate Water Wasted Due to Leaks

Drips per Minute (small/slower leaks)
Simply count the number of drips in one minute from the leaky fixture.
Note: 5 drips per second amounts to a steady stream.
|
|
"Bucket and Stopwatch Method" (large/more rapid leaks)
Hold an eight ounce cup under the dripping fixture and, with a stopwatch, time how long it takes to fill the cup.
